F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain Black Label - Ref. CS Calibre 1304

The Chronomètre Souverain Black Label is one of the most exclusive creations in the F.P. Journe universe, reserved strictly for existing F.P. Journe owners and produced in extremely limited numbers — with each boutique receiving just a handful per year. Powered by the manual-wound Calibre 1304, crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, it delivers a 56-hour power reserve and represents Journe’s pursuit of stable, repeatable chronometric performance. Though the Chronomètre Souverain line earned the Best Men’s Watch Prize at the 2005 GPHG, the Black Label edition elevates the concept further through scarcity and refinement.

Its aesthetic signature is unmistakable: a deep blackened silver dial contrasted by applied 18K white-gold numerals and black rhodium-plated steel hands, paired with Journe’s asymmetric layout featuring small seconds at 7 o’clock and the reverse power-reserve indicator at 3. The 40 mm platinum case and ultra-slim 8 mm profile offer a sleek, elegant presence on the wrist, complemented by a black semi-gloss alligator strap and platinum pin buckle. The exclusivity of the Black Label series, combined with the purity of its design and mechanical intent, makes it one of the most sought-after expressions of the Chronomètre Souverain philosophy.
